"Poor Market" with the slogan "Buy as much as you need".
Two more months left for the start of Ramadan. But now the price of every product is abnormally high. The price of every commodity including rice, dal, oil, fish, meat, vegetables has gone beyond the purchasing power of the lower and middle class.
There has been volatility in the consumer goods market for several months. The prices of the essential products have increased gradually. In the midst of this, the sudden decision to increase the price of fuel oil and gas has caught fire in the market.
In recent times, the market for unsustainable products has taken a big place in various media. Various media have published reports on this throughout the month, from which the helplessness of common people can be felt. The current unbridled rise in the prices of daily commodities has affected all sections of the people but has reached unbearable levels for the people with limited income. The poor are in crisis, and the middle class is disoriented.
Just when such a far-fetched situation is right for the market of daily commodities, Mujibur Rahman Milon himself is running a special market called Garib Bazar thinking of the underprivileged and low income people of the country through a project called Garib Bazar.
Whether it is rural or urban, the exorbitant prices of daily necessities have made the lives of low-income people miserable. All in all, life has become difficult these days. Various products are available at half the market price for the benefit of low-income buyers. Suppose the normal market price of 16 products of your choice is 1600 taka, you can buy it from this market for only 800 taka. An exceptional product market has been launched with the slogan "Buy as much as you need". This exceptionally timely "poor market" in Nawabganj, on the outskirts of Dhaka. Expatriate Mujibur Rahman Milon took this initiative. Today initially this market started in Nawabganj but gradually it will be spread all over the country. In the next Ramadan, we want to continue this trend, said the main entrepreneur, Mujibur Rahman Milan. He also said that I have always been by the side of helpless and poor people in the difficult times of the country and will continue to be so in the future, inshallah.
Editor and CEO of Voice Asian, ICT Program Planner of Bangladesh Television (BTV) and Freelance Journalist Eng Mosharraf Jewel and Sub Inspector of Nawabganj Thana Ajit Kumar Roy inaugurated this special poor bazaar program organized by Mujibur Rahman Milan. Also present at the opening ceremony were Voice Asian special representative Md. Sajedul Haque Duke, former civil surgeon of Nawabganj Thana Health Complex Dr. Mohammad Hossain, banker Safiul Islam, prominent businessmen of Nawabganj market and various wards members and dignitaries of Kalakopa Union.
Poor people are happy to be able to buy daily necessities including rice, dal, oil, flour, salt, eggs from this market at half the market price. About 50 families availed this facility on the opening day of the market. Every family has the opportunity to buy rice, dal, oil, potato, onion, flour, egg, noodles and other daily necessities from this market at half the market price.
The buyers of the market are mainly low income. Some are rickshaw pullers, some are shop workers, some are local factory workers. Hence the market is locally known as poor man's market.
Voice Asian volunteers do house-to-house surveys and distribute tokens; By showing this, the poor are given the opportunity to buy products in the market. Its main promoter Mujibur Rahman Milon said that this market will continue throughout the month of Ramadan. He also said that initially this market will be conducted in Dhaka and Chittagong, but in the future it will be expanded throughout the country.
According to the entrepreneurial authority, this market is organized in different parts of the country once a month to support the needy.
It should be noted here that Mujibur Rahman Milan is an honest, always smiling and philanthropic person. He is involved in various social activities in the country as well as abroad. He is the founder and co-president of Bangladesh Business Chamber of Singapore (BDCHAM). Many business activities are conducted by him with BDCHAM and Bangladesh. Apart from this, he is also known as a successful business leader to the Bengali community of that country. At the moment of any calamity in the country, he always comes forward by extending his hand of service to the helpless.
